Exclusive: NLU Cuttack Orissa (NLUO) vice chancellor (VC) professor Faizan Mustafa has been selected to become the VC at Nalsar Hyderabad for the next five years according to four authoritative sources, after the selection committee deliberated until nearly midnight yesterday (11 March).
Mustafa, who said he expected to be officially told of his appointment by evening today but has already been receiving congratulatory phone calls, said: “Before I react to anything about Nalsar, I first need to have good information about Nalsar. There are a number of things that have been done at NLU Orissa, I don’t know if the same kind of innovation can be done here, since it is already an established university, it is already number one.
“I don’t think I’d be repeating the same things at Nalsar but will be going for something fresh.”
It is understood that the selection committee of three members chose candidates on the basis of the University Grants Commission (UGC) norms, combined with interactions with the candidates over lunch and dinner.
Starting with 10 candidates, whittled down from a long list of 18, the committee eventually shortlisted four names yesterday: Mustafa, NLS registrar professor Nagaraj, and Nalsar registrar professor Acharyulu Sridhar and Dr Ambedkar Law University Chennai VC professor V Vijayakumar.
By around 11:45pm yesterday, Nalsar chancellor and Andhra Pradesh High Court Chief Justice Madan B Lokur then made his final choice in Mustafa, who will be VC for the 2012-2017 term after current VC Veer Singh is set to join Chandigarh Judicial Academy.
Mustafa, was formerly dean of Aligarh Muslim University’s faculty of law, and registrar at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), and founder director of KIIT Law School prior to joining NLUO, which became a part of the Common Law Admissions Test (CLAT) this year.
Specialising in intellectual property law and international human rights law, he is a gold medallist from AMU as well as from the International Institute of Human Rights, Strasbourg, and has been commended with the International Educator of the Year Award by the UK Cambridge-based International Biographical Centre.
He has also written eight books and about a hundred national and international papers.
One Nalsar student commented that the new VC should be proactive and added: “The most important thing we need is new good faculty, especially foreign LLM and our alumni to be allowed to teach instead of them going to NUJS.”
In February a judicial report published by Legally India pursuant to an RTI request highlighted structural problems in the management and administration of Nalsar University, naming several faculty members as responsible.
[Correction: Thanks for the commenter who pointed out the International Educator Award is not by Cambridge University]

god save NALSAR. it is very unfortunate that there is a dearth of quality academicians to run law schools.
So I doubt he would leave NALSAR in haste.
Check facts before making comparisons, each individual is unique and distinct.
Dr Gurpur has highest impact factor in recent weeks in ssrn.com, is an invitee on many research and recognition committees, has changed the brand of symbi law school with world class best practices,within no time for which she was nominated for the legal education innovation award
Look before you leap into shortcut conclusions
Basically he needs to just get into the head that Nalsar is among the best law schools in India, not because of the faculty members or infrastructure or the wise men ruling the college but only and only and only because of the students.

But the point is that how can he leave a new university in mid-way, i mean, in almost every speech he was dedicated towards getting good status of nluo, now since he got good offer and having more chances to get better position in nalsar, he cannot leave(morally) until at least one batch be passed out. Many students including me too relied only on him and joined nluo despite had options to go in others nlus.
So my kindly request to you sir, whatever you promised us and relying upon them we had been doing hard work , please stay for 2 years' tenure which you recently got from AMU.
you mean IBC, Ely, Cambridgeshire
I wish him all success for his unending reach in the legal fraternity but we most certainly miss him here at the F/o Law, AMU.
Best wishes Sir...
Oh godd..... just can't hold my laugh when i recall all those big speeches he used to give... those were to the tune of "Making NLUO the harvard of the East" and "thinking beyond Madhava Menon and to outplay NLS" and wat not.....
to quote a friend.. " Harvard of East goes down South now"
good one.
ya dude ur funny man i ll place u in the crew of megadeth...i ll call u simba ha ha ha
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground.
God is a concept by which we measure our pain.
Yes,yes- THE BEETLES- very nice! Subtle sarcasm you get?:D
How much ever we cursed RS when he was there: for his deeds, his ways and a lot more...I am forced to remember RS when he said- "This place will go to the dogs when I leave".
I am no fan of his...but hats off to his foresight (on going to the dogs part...at no point discounting his role in doing the same by putting the [...] Veer Singh as VC)! [...].
Don't know much about Mr. FM..hope he brings good to the place....
In the words of Red (of Shawshank fame...no...its no numerological typo for Shashank).. "Hope is a good thing!"
2. The unfairness in certain parts of the university will die
3. FM's favored teachers like Mr. Pinaki will leave and thus the standard of the faculty will increase.
4. The students will come out on their own now. They know how to work, and they will make that count.
5. Mr. Without the VC, just look at us in two or three years. We will be up there kicking your ass downside up.
The VC :D He left the university. We are loyal enough.
Guys I never even saw you feature in the MPL.... do you guys participate in moots?
And by the way, you have a brass ass? The one that clinks when one hits it?
Y U NO want to get your brass ass kicked eh? Too scared of what your reformation will do? :D
SAY THANKS TO PANGEA....
THEY WILL SAVE YOUR FACE... whenever you graduate or if at all you graduate :P
All this just shows how jobless you are.
Be glad, we got you placed. At NALSAR.
Regards,
A jobless NLUOite
Since when did it become The "Beetles"?
You just made (the real) John Lennon turn in his grave man.
i just want to know from Mr. FM one thing, where from will a govt. pay the law schools the funds he looks for i.e. 100 crores?? if not out of the taxes paid by corporates!! who happen to be the largest tax-payer in any nation.hence dear friends there is no harm in serving corporate world as we do today.
Its a fact that today if a students joins litigation then he is exploited more and empowered less.He is made to work day and night without any payment or pocket money.why didn't great people like Mr. FM did something to do away with the kind of exploitation that goes on litigation practice, rather than misleading students to opt for an area of law which is already over-employed and there is a dire need to cut short on that.
the recruitment of Nalsar alumni to NUJS has not helped NUJS much becoz all the Nalsar alumnis in NUJS are busy licking boots of the top mngt and doing politics to save themselves from the tag of illegal appointments. Apart from this they do nothing but hatch eggs...........NUJS is hoping if the nalsar alumnis can be dumped back at Nalsar.
thanks
The flood of commentators from NLUO just made it clear.
If you guys are indeed so placement-hungry do please refrain from commenting here. It shall be detrimental to you stated aims.
Personally I am sad that neither Gussie nor Sparta made it. I mean I understand Gussie not making even after his stadium heroics but this is completely unfair to Sparta. At least he should have been called for the selection rounds.
Anyway, Sparta for SBC President next year!
General Secretary Saar is not standing for the post of President next year. He is taking over as the Pro-VC. A new post that will be created and referred to as Dean (Acad Leaves).
are bhai, kuch toh rahne do yaha par, kya chahte ho??
hahahaahahhahaah
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

^ Stud comment. One of the best I have come across on LI.
Kuchh toh original kar.
Blah!
The culture of poverty or is it the poverty of culture?
there is no point on which we are fighting. VCs change every year term. there is nothing big about it.
Every administrator brings with him new ideas and opinions and they largely depend on the place where the university is and most importantly the government support. NALSAR is undoubtedly good but commenting on the credibility of NLUO is unfair. NLUO has a good name n yes it has shown its presence in moots and debates. the accomplishments are not to be boasted about. Most importantly its the students who make a university rise and not the VC.
Most importantly, the onus on them is much more when they know that the students have worked and studied under the guidance of an able VC, and they have someone to compare to.
Quoting see the logic...:
see, don't comment on others' sentiments until you face the situation . We, students of nluo, treat vc sir more than a vc, in 3 yrs of time we have been attached so closely and it is a kind of shock to us that he is going to leave us.
And don't teach someone to become professional, and sometimes in life benefit or loss doesn't count. We know what we are and you try to develop more and more rather than keep watching on others.
let the matter be decided n calm down...
If the university is mismanaged in such a way that nobody cares about students. Students are deemed to be source of money only. They are treated as subject and not living person.
Ya right!! and Richard Nixon was the best US President, Pratibha Patil was the best Indian President and Dominique Gaston André Strauss-Kahn i.e. DSK was a saint.
what about NLUO now? Where it is heading? Who all are in the race for its Vice-chancellorship?
